an initial decrease, remained constant for loadings up to 50 wt-%. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) showed a large decrease in the amount of lamellar structure relative to the neat PP, while wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) showed a high degree of crystallinity. These results are consistent with formation of a new type of layered nanocomposite, composed of crystalline PP chains oriented onto layered GNPs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
